Narrative Concering Books True Meditation: Discover the Freedom of Pure Awareness

What would happen if you were to allow everything to be exactly as it is? If you gave up the need for control, and instead embraced the whole of your experience in each moment that arose? In the 14 years that he studied Zen, Adyashanti found that most seasoned meditators had used the practice as "an end instead of a means to an end." What he ultimately realized was that only when you let go of all techniques—even the concept of yourself as a meditator—will you open to the art of True Meditation, dwelling in the natural state. True Meditation invites you to join the growing number of seekers who have been touched by the wisdom of Adyashanti to learn:

How to make the "effortless effort" that will vivify the present moment
• Meditative self-inquiry and "The Way of Subtraction": how to ask a spiritually powerful question—and determine the real answer
• Two guided meditations on CD intended to reveal what Adyashanti calls "your home as awareness itself"
"We've been taught that awakening is difficult," explains Adyashanti, "that to wake up from the illusion of separation takes years. But all it really takes is a willingness to look into the depths of your experience here and now." True Meditation gives you the opportunity to reclaim the original purpose of meditation—as a gateway to "the objectless freedom of being."

Judge Based On Books True Meditation: Discover the Freedom of Pure Awareness

It truly enlightening book. That will challenge many people's beliefs about meditation and Awakening.

This is a clear, concise and beautifully written description of what Adyashanti calls 'true meditation'. And of course that made me smile, because, really, what does that mean. And then my smile deepened as I read the book, not in any ironical way, but in the way of seeing meditation with more awareness and knowledge. My smile deepened with the truth of what he described. At least, his idea 'truth' and mine about the purpose and result of meditation overlapped to a significant degree. And so I

First, thanks to my friend Elaine who recommended this book. I've had so much more success with meditation in general when I deviate from some fixated path of posture and concentration which so many other methods teach. This book talks about looking past all that; looking deeper

Most clear and concise treatment of meditation that I have ever read. This book is a gem.

This book was a quick read with some helpful things to say. Mainly that meditation is about attitude and that letting go of the meditator is helpful. I guess I was expecting something more, although I honestly don't know what that is. Overall, I found this book just okay.

Not a beginning book but very helpful in some areas that I seemed to hang up on. It was also very much the go do it book. It is not an entertaining story but is insightful, educating and motivated me to be more steady in my practice. I very rarely give a book more than 3 stars.

This was an interesting audiobook for me. I appreciated that the author was straight forward in explaining their approach, which they call "true meditation", to the reader. I learned a lot about meditation and why so many people find it useful. Overall, a solid little title that is sure to make you think.
